* The package naming guidelines answer your question:

> Having API docs without devel package does not make much sense.

Sure it does!  One can read documentation and evaluate an API without needing
to install -devel package dependency-chains. One could even create a
Documentation spin, which would not be possible with superfluous unresolvable
dependencies on -devel packages.


> # Documentation is moved from its original directory to one
> owned by gtk-doc.
> # Why it is done is unclear for me.
> Requires:       gtk-doc

Um, what? That comment caused some head-scratching. It's *you* who moves the
documentation during %install. As why you do that, one reason for moving it
from %_docdir to gtk-doc's place is to make it available to the "devhelp" tool.


> %install
> rm -rf %{buildroot} docs-to-include
> rm -rf %{buildroot}

The second one is redundant.
